Last call for citizenship applicants

The Home Ministry is offering a last chance to over 2,000 citizenship applicants who have changed their addresses to check their names on the ministry’s official website and attend the mandatory interview sessions from Oct 12-14.

The ministry’s National Registration and Societies Division secretary Datin Jariah Mohd Said said its notices to 2,303 people for the interviews under Section 19 (1) of the Federal Constitution had been returned unopened as they were no longer residing at the addresses listed when the applications were submitted.

She said the division understood that the applicants might have had to move out of the listed premises because these were applications submitted from 1997-2006, but added that they should have informed the National Registration Department of such changes.
